We are on the brink of a fundamental change, caused by universal challenges. Challenges from a global economic perspective; such as the credit-crunch, a tight labour market and inflicting demands on the future workforce. Challenges from a an educational perspective such as budget-cuts in higher education on the one hand and escalating tuition fees on the other hand, increasing the demand for reduction in time to competency. As a consequence, academic professions are poised to change more radical over the next two decades, than in two centuries before. Education Revolution is a movement that aims to identify the contemporary needs of higher education and match them with technological solutions. We apply innovative teaching approaches, including emerging technologies such as wearables, virtual worlds and SPOCS to engage students, increase employability and reduce drop-out rates.
